Abstract. Genetic recombination refers to the exchange of DNA segments between chromosomes or other DNA molecules. In meiosis, genetic recombination ensures proper chromosome segregation and also reassorts DNA sequences on homologous chromosomes.efinitions. Genetic recombination refers to the rearrangement of DNA sequences by the breakage and rejoining of chromosomes or chromosome segments. It also describes the consequences of such rearrangements, that is, the inheritance of novel combinations of alleles in the offspring that carry recombinant chromosomes.
DNA cloning has been used in genetic engineering to create plants that offer better nutritional value. DNA cloning is being used in gene therapy to create new treatments for genetic disorders. In DNA cloning, it is possible to clone entire gene fragments, random portions of DNA fragments or specific DNA sequences. Scientists can clone entire gene fragments, random portions of DNA fragments or specific DNA sequences.
